This will be streamed live on the Internet to a World Wide audience via FilmOn's fully scalable device agnostic IPTV (News - Alert) platform to PC, Mobile Phones and Connected Devices, whilst simulcasting to the entire US Cable TV Universe. Alki David commented, "This week we have launched ten more Virtual Cable Channels targeted at early adopter demographics, these include Night at the Improv, MyCombat Channel, Skiers World, 18 Holes and Boating TV, forming a great addition to our line-up of over 100 Channels cleared for Internet Audiences."

In 2011 My Combat Channel broadcast several live online Pay Per View Fights from Soboba Casino and Resorts in California. "2012 will see many more of these events simulcast on traditional Cable and IPTV outlets," said Kim Hurwitz Senior VP of US Content Partnerships.

Our business to business solutions is where we re-brand both our technology platforms and content partnerships to third parties. FilmOn is designed to help evolve the Broadcast and Cable Industry into the new Over The Top landscape whilst maintaining the existing business models with value added services," added Mr. David.
